Duly noted. :)

That's the company I use, too - and ultimately the reason I am asking
because Chris Soghoian once told me that they log the connections.
This seems to be supported by this inquiry made in 2011:

http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/

They log for 6 months and say they will respond to requests under
Swiss law.

I would be surprised if other Swiss providers wouldn't do the same,
but I am very happy to hear otherwise?

Ralph
